Maldives Minister of Environment, Climate Change & Technology (2021-2023)

Joined May 2011
It was a pleasure to join @CarolineLucas on @restispolitics to discuss climate migration, what it means for countries like the Maldives, and the choices we face as the climate crisis intensifies.
Climate-linked migration is too often used by some seeking to incite fear or alarm. So what’s the truth behind the lurid tabloid headlines? Join me to explore this with former Minister of the Maldives Aminath Shauna & policy expert Alex Randall (LinkTree in bio) @RestIsPolitics

Today we are told that the supposed “corruption” charges against the Supreme Court justices have been dropped because there’s no evidence to support the allegations. The entire system is compromised and broken. We cannot achieve anything without a fair system of governance.
Today’s politically motivated removal of two Supreme Court justices marks the end of judicial independence. With the Parliament, the Judiciary, and the Executive now under the President’s control, this unconstitutional move is a stark reminder of the dangerous path we’re on.

19 years ago today, I cast my first vote for MDP. My loyalty has never wavered. With that same passion, I’m excited to announce I am contesting the internal MDP elections to represent Addu Meedhoo & Hulhudhoo! I humbly ask for your support and your vote. 💛

From #sandbank to #island: Coral reefs don't just protect islands, they build them Satellite imagery from 2005, 2016, and 2023 showing how a bare sand spit is shaped into an island which supports vegetation. #Maldives #EarthObservation #CoralReefs #IslandFormation

President @ibusolih highlighted the fundamental issues our party must prioritize to navigate an increasingly fragmented world: consolidating democracy, protecting the vulnerable, championing mental health, and preparing for the climate crisis. #mdpcongress5

Slashing the salaries of Permanent Secretaries and Local Council SGs may make for good headlines, but is it a meaningful saving or just optics? Real savings will come from ending wasteful spending on vanity projects like Ras Male’.

Every government is plagued by inefficiency, dysfunction, and a complete lack of accountability. No amount of special units or sprawling institutions will solve these problems unless we address them at their root by holding those responsible accountable.

The President handpicks the former registrar of his own party to head the country’s most crucial independent commission responsible for ensuring free and fair elections. This is the beginning of political interference in the electoral process and a real reason for concern.

Congratulations to President @MohamedNasheed for winning today’s chairperson vote. Hats off to @MickailNaseem for consistently striving for the best for our party. I am confident we can all move forward together to rebuild our party to defeat this authoritarian regime.

As we celebrate 21 years of MDP in a few days, we must renew our commitment to the principles and values that brought us together. Our future cannot be defined by personalities. We move forward carrying the lessons of our past, but not living in it. My vote is for Meekail.
